It seems like we all had just gathered at the MAC for Green and White Night, and here it is, Senior Night and the Annual “Battle of US27” bout with Pendleton County signaling the completion of our regular season play for 2025.  This will be the 25th renewal of the Battle for the Traveling Helmet, which has been possessed by our Mustangs for the past seven renewals, and we maintain a  11-3 record since this rivalry began back in 2011.  Our three losses were by 7 points, 1 point, and 1 point.

Pendleton County is a 3A Football Program, which in itself makes them dangerous, and you can tell by the size of their roster, which dwarfs ours, that there is interest in Football in Falmouth.  However, they come to town with a single win on their chart this season – a 2-point decision over Bellevue back on September 9th.

The Cats always get up for this game, which adds a layer of excitement to the late season non-district contest closing out the Wildcats’ season, but while an “upset” of our Mustangs who are looking to finish the regular season at 5-5, I don’t foresee the Black Helmet traveling south Thursday night.  I say capable because I have every confidence that the Cats would have defeated Trimble County, our opponent from this past Friday night.  We will have to come to play, and it would behoove us to play from ahead.

We will celebrate our Seniors – Mason McKinzie, Nick Cozzi, Anthony Schuck, Isaac Amin, Will Wyrick, Max Runge, Matthew Riegler, Landon Ruth, Nolan Kruse, Mathew Goering, Will Webster, and Mickey Keitz.  The Senior Night festivities have been moved to 6pm.  Game time is at 7pm, and if you cannot make it out to the MAC, tune in as Brian and Joe bring all of the action to you Live and Direct beginning at 6:40pm.  I have been asked to be their halftime interview this week.  DS
